Demonstrate quality through transparency for beauty and personal care products
When it comes to cosmetics and personal care products (PCPs), consumers are concerned with safety, product effectiveness and quality of ingredients used, while manufacturers and brands focus on advertising their products’ performance as superior to their competitors.
Shoppers today have access to a wider choice of products, including cosmetics, hair and skin care, baby products, feminine hygiene, and dental care, for which they can read and share reviews and select a variety of delivery options. The personal care and beauty industry has an amplified need for differentiating products by demonstrating quality, safety and sustainability attributes through transparency to build customer loyalty for retailers and reinforce good manufacturing practices for producers supplying retailers.
The complex regulatory landscape for beauty products and PCPs impacts the industry as regulatory requirements vary from country to country. For example:
- The European Union requires compliance to EC 1223/2009.
- In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires compliance to 21 CFR Part 700.
- In Canada, the industry is regulated based on the Food and Drug Act.
- In the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are regulated under the Cosmetics Directive (ASD).
Manufacturers and retailers need a partner they can trust who can help them stay up to date with regulatory compliance, demonstrate the quality of goods and support customers with a global network of experts and laboratories to make them successful.
